What's New in This Guide

This chapter describes the most important changes to Oracle WebCenter Content (WebCenter Content) services introduced in the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) release.

New and Changed Features for Release 11gR1 (11.1.1.6)

Changes include the following:

New Folders services descriptions have been added. The location for these services refer to framework_folders because it is supported by the FrameworkFolders component. See Chapter 8.

Folders_g services are still supported, however, the folders are now referred to as contribution folders. The services descriptions contain additional parameter information and examples. See Chapter 7.

New and Changed Features for Release 11gR1

Changes include the following:

Services Preview functionality: When adding a service through the Component Wizard, you can now preview details about services. Information for a service can be viewed by selecting the new Preview button in the upper right corner of the Resource Selection dialog. When the Preview Information forSERVICE_NAME dialog is display ed, the online help for that service is available by clicking the Help button.

The CHECKIN_NEW service has been revised to include information about the DirectReleaseNewCheckinDoc variable, which directs content items being checked in to bypass Inbound Refinery, workflow, and indexing.

The GET_ENVIRONMENT service has been revised to include information about the StartTime variable.

The DELETE_DOC service has been revised to show that it removes all revisions of a content item, not just a single revision.

The CHECKIN_SEL service has been revised to remove inaccurate information about metadata values not specified in the service call being inherited from the previous revision. Metadata values are not inherited from the previous revision. CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL and UPDATE_DOCINFO are the two services that inherit unspecified metadata values.

Location path names have been revised to reflect the new directory and file structure for a Content Server instance deployed to a WebCenter Content domain on an Oracle WebLogic Server application server.

WebCenter Content documentation uses the following terms when referring to variables in the directories associated with the WebCenter Content installation, configuration, and deployment:

IdcHomeDir: This variable refers to the ucm/idc directory in the Oracle WebCenter Content home where the WebCenter Content server media is located. The server media can run Oracle WebCenter Content Server, Oracle WebCenter Content: Inbound Refinery, or Oracle WebCenter Content: Records software. This is essentially a read-only directory. The default location is WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME/ucm/idc. The variable portion of the default location can be changed, but the path cannot be changed from ucm/idc.

DomainHome: This variable refers to the user-specified directory where a WebCenter Content application is deployed to run on an Oracle WebLogic Server application server. The DomainHome/ucm/short-product-id/bin directory contains the intradoc.cfg file and executables. The default location for DomainHome is MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain, but you can change the path and domain name (base_domain) during the deployment of a WebCenter Content application to an application server.

short-product-id: This variable refers to the type of WebCenter Content server deployed to an application server. This name is used as the context root (default HttpRelativeWebRoot configuration value). Possible values include:

cs (Oracle WebCenter Content Server)

ibr (Oracle WebCenter Content: Inbound Refinery)

urm (Oracle WebCenter Content: Records)

IntradocDir: This variable refers to the root directory for configuration and data files specific to a Content Server instance that is part of a WebCenter Content application deployed to an application server. This Idoc Script variable is configured for one type of Content Server instance: Content Server (cs), Inbound Refinery (ibr), or Records (urm). This directory can be located elsewhere, but the default location is DomainHome/ucm/short-product-id. The specified directory must be an absolute path to the instance directory and must be unique to a particular server or node. The directory files include startup files (intradoc.cfg and executables).
